Chapter 164: The Shark Returns, Christmas War! (Single more 10,000 words to!) )
On the 3rd, the Lakers went to the MCI Center to challenge the Wizards.
Before the start of this game, on the Internet, some attentive fans specially sorted out the performance of those stars who had played under Wang Shuo in the face of the team led by Wang Shuo.
As a result, I don't know that among Wang Shuo's many "rebels", Arenas is the player who is the heaviest in the face of Wang Shuo.
According to the statistics of netizens, Arenas can average 29.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game when facing the team led by Wang Shuo, and his shooting rate is as high as 48.4% and 40.5% from three-point range.
In this life, his career debut is the peak, and the "Agent Zero" who also won the gold medal with the US men's basketball team in 08 not only escaped the two major injuries in Wang Shuo's memory, but he is also very likely to avoid the famous "gungate incident".
Because the other protagonist of the incident, Gavallis-Crittenton, who will serve a 23-year prison sentence for murder and drug trafficking, is currently playing for the Timberwolves.
These two major injuries suffered by Arenas were related to the kind and gentle treatment that Wang Shuo had given him in the early years of his career.
Since Arenas' injuries have historically been tossed by his own "Xia Ji Ba Practice", Arenas will naturally reduce his risk of major injuries on the field after being exposed to more scientific training methods earlier.
As for the "gungate incident" in Wang Shuo's memory, in fact, the main fuse was the gamble between Critanton and McGee.
Although there are many versions of the "gungate incident" circulating in the future, according to the later recollections of many Wizards players, the reason why Arenas and Critanton clashed at that time was because Arenas wanted to help McGee, who lost $1,100 to Critanton at the time.
As a result, as the argument between Critanton and Arenas escalated, the former uttered the classic phrase "I'll shoot you."
The latter will respond, "Then I'll bring a gun too, you can try it".
Since this Wizards team does not have Critanton, and Gasol, the leader of the locker room, it is difficult for Arenas to do the stupid thing that Wang Shuo remembers, no matter how arrogant his personality is.
However, in this game, Wang Shuo is obviously more concerned about the little Arenas who was brought to the scene by Arenas than Arenas, the "rebel".
Before Wang Shuo crossed over, he was one of the top five picks in the first round of the 2026 NBA.
Aaliyah Arenas, who is known as one of the strongest stars in the second generation along with Carlos Boozer's son Cameron Boozer.
Little Arenas, who was trained by Arenas himself, has the basic skills of far surpassing his peers in the future, with a balanced left and right hand, and a soft projection feel like his father.
Wang Shuo is very optimistic that Arenas, who has excellent basic skills, can play, so he plans to lay out in advance.
This layout is nothing else, as long as conditions allow in the future, Wang Shuo will definitely form a lineup with the second generation of stars as the main framework.
Anyway, if someone's son doesn't come out at that time, Wang Shuo can directly criticize his father on this ground.
MCI Center, this night, Arenas did not disappoint Wang Shuo.
After riding the Red Rabbit horse, Arenas, who was armed with Fang Tian's halberd, scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Wizards in the first quarter of the game alone.
And unlike those outside players who relied on playing Ellis and Curry this season, this game, Arenas hit this wave of critical hits under Kobe's snake entanglement.
In the career record against Kobe, Arenas will be defended by Kobe Bryant as a blacksmith most of the time.
But when it exploded, even Kobe Bryant couldn't do anything about him.
In addition, the big and small plus this group of brothers are opposed, and this game is also won by Big Plus.
If Wang Shuo remembers correctly, until Dajia gets old, it will be difficult for Xiaojia to bargain for Dajia.
Of course, the younger Xiaojia has been around 14 years old, and he will make "eating, sleeping, and beating his brother" his daily routine.
In the early years, how ruthless Dajia was when he bullied Xiao Jia, in the future, how decisive Xiao Jia will be in pulling out his brother's oxygen.
MCI Center, in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers, who were playing away, fell behind 31-38.
In front of the TV, the Lakers, who were accustomed to the Lakers' start to like waves, did not take the Lakers' unfavorable start to heart.
But soon......
In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers, under the leadership of Curry, created a huge stage for Kobe Bryant.
On the court, after Kobe Bryant finished charging......
On the scoreboard, I saw that the Lakers had trailed the Wizards by 21 points.
During the period when he was pulled away by the Wizards, Curry handed over a report card with a total of 6 shots and 0 shots, which is really a tribute to Kobe Bryant with action.
It's a pity that Kobe Bryant couldn't lead the Lakers to complete the comeback in this game.
Although in the game, Kobe Bryant shot 12 of 24, including 4 of 8 three-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws, a total of 41 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Lakers, continuing his career in the face of Arenas, shooting 48.1% from the field, 44.4% from three-point range, and averaging 29.8 points per game.
But what ......
In this game, the whole Lakers team is paying tribute to Kobe!
Xiaojia, who was almost beaten by Dajia and was autistic, only made 1 of 6 shots in this game.
Odom was 2-of-7 shooting.
There were Curry on 3-of-15 shooting and Ellis on 4-of-14 shooting.
On the court, when the timer of the final quarter of the game was reaching zero, looking at the group of "fan brothers" next to him, I don't know if Kobe Bryant had a feeling that he had swapped identities with O'Neal back then.
On the Internet, after the game, even the Comirates collectively complained about Kobe:
I didn't expect you to have today, right?
If it was early in his career, Kobe Bryant would definitely find a random unlucky guy to stare at all night after the game.
But after the game, Kobe Bryant said with a smile in an interview: "I don't think my teammates are playing badly, because I used to often encounter situations where I couldn't find my touch."
I'm going to pass them whenever I get the chance, and even if they don't make it in the first 10 times, I'll stick to them the 11th time. ”
The next day, several Los Angeles media outlets praised Bryant's growing leadership qualities.
It is......
What puzzled Ajan next door was that he had been insisting on passing the ball to his teammates, but why didn't anyone praise him?
Is it true that no one notices that if you only look at Excel, he and Kobe Bryant are actually five or five?
On the 5th, after losing to the Wizards, the Lakers quickly completed the rebound in Toronto, winning a 141-97 victory on the road......
Well, if you look at the tragedy that I have experienced so far in my career, the Lakers can only be regarded as a "narrow victory" over the Raptors in this game.
A week ago, "Dragon King" Paul had officially requested a trade from the Raptors.
In addition, Bosh, who previously signed a "3+1" contract extension with the Raptors, also intends to jump out of his final year with the Raptors next summer.
Next summer is destined to be the NBA's liveliest summer in nearly two decades.
As Wang Shuo remembers, everyone wants to get the most out of the 2011 NBA's new round of labor negotiations.
Therefore, in the 03 golden generation, all the players who are a little famous have signed a 4-year contract with the parent team at the end of the rookie contract, with a term composition of "3+1" and the last year of player option.
At present, there are already a number of teams in the market that are ready to catch big fish in the summer of '10 and are starting to clear the salary space.
For example, the bulls that are in the process of a clearance sale.
For example, the Warriors, who were sold by Cohan to Lacob and his business partners in advance due to poor results.
Affected by the summer of '10, Wang Shuo knew very well that the NBA trade would be chaotic this season.
In order to clear up salary space, some teams will no longer prioritize player value first, but will prioritize whether or not they can trade the player.
The NBA is about to usher in a complete reshuffle.
I just don't know, this time, who will be the protagonist of the summer of 10?
On the 6th, the Lakers challenged the Heat back-to-back.
This season, the Heat, who are preparing for the 10/11 season, also intend to catch big fish in the free agent market in the summer of '10.
Ahead of this game with the Lakers, the Heat had reached out to the Wizards and completed the first round of negotiations with the Wizards regarding a trade for Randolph.
The main purpose of this deal, the Heat, is to get rid of Randolph's salary baggage and get as many draft picks as possible from the Wizards.
The Wizards plan to build on Arenas and Gasol to build on a new round of reinforcements.
As a spacious-type four with excellent individual ability, Randolph's biggest problem is his character.
But Randolph, who eats soft and not hard, will also become fierce if he can really get enough love from a team.
Historically, Randolph felt warm enough in Memphis, and later even became a good citizen who actively participated in the local community activities in Memphis and was enthusiastic about helping his neighbors.
In Miami, the authority of "King" Wade is unshakable......
Therefore, as early as the first time Randolph gave Wade the blame, it was destined that Randolph would not give everything he had for the city of Miami.
And thanks to Wang Shuo's departure that year, Rivers completely refreshed his three views......
Wizards fans have basically collectively entered the state of Buddhism in recent years.
In the eyes of the vast majority of Wizards fans, the team only needs to make the playoffs anyway and let everyone earn back the money from the season package.
In addition, Gasol is very good at raising babies, so the Wizards management decided to take a gamble on Randolph.
Only, if the deal can be done.
At that time, Wang Shuo will definitely sigh that fate, this thing is really wonderful.
Because the big plus Randolph, the small plus Kobe......
Does this mean that the Gasol brothers are destined to partner with Randolph and Kobe?
In this game with the Heat, because the last game of the "Dragon King" Paul led the Raptors very intimately to help the Lakers complete the "pre-game warm-up......
Therefore, the Lakers did not spend much effort to successfully gnaw on the Heat away from home, you say hard, Wang Shuo thinks it is very soft at the moment, you say it is soft, and the previous Kobe Bryant thinks it is a very hard bone.
In the past two years, Kobe Bryant's results against Wade have not been ideal.
And, as an opponent who can rarely be recognized by Kobe, Wade will indeed always impress Kobe Bryant in the game.
But this night ......
Kobe always felt that Wade's every breakthrough on the court was so weak, and every time he defended, he could easily break down.
Could it be that he has really surpassed Michael Jordan in an all-round way and entered a new field as Wang Shuo said?
The answer is clearly no.
Because Wang Shuo is not playing football manager, he can use "nuclear weapons" to directly modify Kobe's ability.
In fact, the reason why Kobe Bryant thinks Wade is easier to deal with than before is mainly because his teammates around him are strong enough this season.
In Miami, Curry, who came off the bench in the first quarter, hit three three-pointers in quick succession.
In this way, even if the Heat can't wrap up a rookie, at least a special person will have to be sent to guard him.
Then, with Jr. Plus, Odom, Barnes and McRoberts all able to empty the interior for Kobe, with the Italian cannon on the wing that can shoot and dare to charge, the defensive pressure on Kobe Bryant is bound to drop several levels compared to the past.
In addition, under the premise that his teammates are trustworthy, no matter how much Wade can defend, can he still prevent Kobe Bryant from even passing the ball?
As one of the few men who can be recognized by Riley, in the past two years, while using Wang Shuo to step on Jackson, Riley has become more and more admired in his heart Wang Shuo, who can always pull up a super team.
Someone else builds a team, even if it is his "god operator" Riley, it will take at least three or five years.
But Wang Shuo built a team......
It's always been as fast as you can.
If you don't understand, just ask, such a man, he is not the GOAT of the coaching world, so who is the GOAT of the coaching world?
In the end, the final score of this game was 128-107.
Kobe Bryant scored a total of 35 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists for the Lakers, not only suppressing Wade, who scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists for the Heat, but also led the Lakers to an easy win on the road.
After the game, many fans on the Internet began their liquidation of ESPN, demanding that ESPN, which previously placed Kobe Bryant in the fifth place among active scoring guards in the league, apologize.
At the press conference, Wang Shuo also teased ESPN on this day: "If ESPN wants traffic, then they should interview me more often, instead of blindly ranking the so-called rankings." ”
In Wang Shuo's previous life, the main reason why ESPN's ranking was regarded as a joke by fans was because it was purely for the sake of traffic, and there was no convincing standard at all.
For example, when comparing two stars, ESPN just said one second that their rankings are more important for team honors, that is, the number of championships, and the next second, when comparing the other two stars, they will use the gold content of the championship and other honors.
In Wang Shuo's view, media like ESPN are willing to hit their own faces for the sake of traffic......
Its credibility is like paper in the toilet.
It can be used to wipe your butt when you need it, and that's it.
On the 8th, after a day of rest, the Lakers visited Phillips Arena to challenge the Hawks.
In this game, Curry and Ellis were both taught to be human beings by "tall and skinny back monster" Livingston.
Because in the game, Kobe Bryant had to focus on dealing with "singles Joe", and he had no time to fill the position for the Lakers backcourt, so how could Curry and Ellis be called a miserable word?
With Curry and Ellis fully defending, Livingston, who played 31 minutes for the Hawks in this game, made 10 of 14 shots, including free throws, and scored a total of 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists for the Hawks.
And in the game, Curry also contributed a famous scene, and booked the next "five embarrassments" in advance.
At that time, he was bent on getting back on the court, and he decisively chose to challenge himself during the fast break and successfully dunked the basketball to the net.
Yes......
"Los Angeles LaVine" Curry didn't even touch the rim with a dunk at the time.
On the court, looking at Curry's funny appearance when he dunked, the players on the Lakers bench were shocked.
Wang Shuo also quickly covered his face as soon as possible, avoiding his overly obscene smile from being captured by the on-site camera.
After the game, the Lakers lost to the Hawks with a score of 121-127 on the road due to excessive waves in the game, and the result did not affect everyone's good mood.
When Curry returned to the locker room, DeRozan, who usually has a good relationship with Curry, took the lead in coaxing: "Look who's back, oh, isn't this our dunk king, Stephen Curry?" ”
Hearing this, Curry immediately blushed, first quibbling that he didn't step on a good step at the time, and then defending himself, saying a bunch of things like when a dunk master will inevitably miss.
The crowd burst into laughter, filling the locker room with a cheerful air.
At the press conference, Wang Shuo was also asked what he thought of Curry's comical dunk.
In this regard, Wang Shuo complained: "Anyway, what Stephen just told me is that his dunk was taught by Vince Carter."
In my opinion, it is very likely that Vince did not teach him back then. ”
Carter is "miserable" now.
Because he thought he was wise, how could he have expected that the kid from the Dell Curry family back then would make him "ruined" in the future?
In a later game with the Celtics, after watching Curry's comical dunk from the media's video playback device, Carter, who was lying on the floor, laughed so much that he complained: "I'm willing to take full responsibility for Stephen Curry's dunk."
I did teach him dunks, but I didn't expect him to be so good. ”
Carter, whose emotional intelligence is rarely higher once, was inexplicably sent to the "hot search" of the Internet in China and the United States that night.
The reason is that after seeing Curry's explosive dunk performance, people want to look back at the non-human footage that Carter left on the court back then.
Speaking of which, the emotional intelligence of the four quarterbacks does have their own characteristics.
If Kobe Bryant's emotional intelligence is based on his own preferences, he chooses whether to show emotional intelligence.
Carter's emotional intelligence is often used for players like Curry, who are separated from him.
Wang Shuo remembers that in the future, Carter will complain about Curry's dunk many times.
As for Uncle Vince's "criticism", Curry will not only laugh happily, but also once said that he will wait for Carter to be 60 years old before dunking with Carterby.
In addition, for young players such as Durant and Harden who are a generation away from him, Carter is also mostly praised, thinking that people's evaluation of Durant and Harden is too harsh.
As for the stars of your generation or a generation older than you?
I'm sorry, he's Carter, he's always only scared of the elite!
On the 10th, after defeating the Magic on the road, the Lakers' second wave of the Eastern road trip this season came to a successful conclusion.
In the new season, although ordinary, but confident enough Magic, it is far from the point of making anti-scam calls.
Because in the eyes of Magic management, Bynum is really a manufactur.
So far, Bynum is averaging 17.9 points and 9.1 rebounds per game for the Magic.
Considering the 22-year-old, the Magic have every reason to believe that this "little shark" will hold up Orlando in the near future.
But if Magic management did notice, Bynum's weight was gaining as quickly as a wild horse......
Then they will definitely slap themselves hard and shave in the ear.
Wang Shuo knew very well that after leaving Kobe's Death Gaze, it was only a matter of time before Bynum turned into a wash, scissors and blow, and randomly selected the wife of a teaching assistant to exchange lives.
On the 11th, the day the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, the Wizards and the Heat officially reached a deal for Randolph.
According to the agreement, the Wizards will send Mike James, Larry Hughes, as well as a future first-round pick and a second-round pick, and get Zach Randolph from the Heat.
Mike James' contract expires next summer, while Hughes signed a "1+1" contract extension with the Wizards last summer.
Since the final year of Hughes' "1+1" contract is a team option, the Heat can choose not to exercise this option next summer, freeing up salary space for the team.
In any case, in the summer of 10 years, Riley, a veteran gambler, wanted to take a big gamble at the table.
At present, in this Heat team, except for Wade, Ginobili, and Haslem, the other players are ...... Including Atay, it was a bargaining chip that Riley could be used to trade.
On the 13th, the Lakers sat in Staples to face the Hornets.
Wang Shuo included O'Neill in the team's squad for the first time this season.
With the Christmas war approaching, Wang Shuo knew it was time for him to get the big shark on the field.
The inside twin towers of this Hornets, one is called Bodog and the other is called Camby, and these two brothers are the kind of existence that O'Neal can beat even in the later years of his career.
Yes, hanging.
In the 10/11 season, in the last meeting with Camby in his career, O'Neill beat Camby's 0 points with 14 points.
In the 09/10 season, O'Neal was able to easily handle Bodog in both meetings that season, and in the 08/09 season, he also scored 35 points in a single game against Bodogt.
Wang Shuo noticed the match against the Hornets early in the morning.
So after returning to Los Angeles from Orlando, Wang Shuo also specially let the Lakers players practice the triangle offense.
Staples Center.
After sitting on the bench for more than a month, O'Neal, who was finally waiting to return to his Lakers debut, was excited like a rookie this night.
Even before he was ready to start jumping the ball, Kobe Bryant rubbed O'Neal's shoulders intimately with his little hand like a big brother.
At the scene and in front of the TV, the Lakers fans who saw this scene were full of emotion.
When "ok" becomes "ko".
At this moment, people can't help but sigh:
- Lord's youth is back!
On the field, after the warm-up, the two teams first revealed:
Hornets: Bodog, Camby, Gerard Henderson, Peja, Jonny Flynn.
Lakers: O'Neal, Odom, Gallinari, Kobe, Curry.
This summer, in an effort to clear salary space, the Warriors all but gave Pejabai to the Hornets.
However, compared to the Peja when he played next to "Captain" Jane, Peja is at the end of his career at this time.
In addition, in order to allow O'Neal to roam freely on the Hornets' interior line, Wang Shuo also specially equipped Curry to partner him in this game.
In the center of the field, O'Neal, who is your uncle after all, easily defeated Bodog in the jump ball session.
The Lakers possessed the ball, and Kobe, who knew that Curry couldn't control the rhythm of the triangle offense, took the initiative to ask for the ball after Curry dribbled over the halfcourt, and he, Odom and O'Neal formed a triangle.
These three brothers are no strangers to triangle offenses, and it can even be said that they have fought triangle offenses for most of their lives.
In the low post, after sitting on Bodogt, O'Neal turned and squeezed out a hook shot.
Bodog, whose heart is higher than the sky and whose fate is thinner than paper, once released wild words when he first entered the league, wanting to make those teams who did not sign him with the champion regret it all the time.
However, after many years, even the Knights felt that it was a wise decision that they did not choose Bodog in the first place.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, when facing super centers like Yao Ming and O'Neal, Bodog was basically beaten unilaterally.
But in fact, let alone Yao shark......
Even Xiaojia can press Bodog on the field.
As the champion show in Wang Shuo's memory of 05 years, Bodog played a total of 14 years in his career, and his score did not exceed 7,000 points, and the nickname "White Duncan" he won when he first entered the league was definitely the worst time Duncan was hacked in his life.
In fact, Bodog is a pure blue-collar center.
And its frame protection ability is far from top-notch.
Because as the best appraiser for the NBA's top rim-protecting center, James not only scored 52 points in his career against Bodog, but also scored "40+" 4 times.
In the 14/15 season finals, if Wang Shuo remembers correctly, the Warriors won two cities in a row after abandoning Bodog and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Of course, using Ajan to identify Bodog is really a bit embarrassing.
Because Bodog is a good thing......
With a snap of his fingers, Ajan can wipe it out.
On the court, it's the Hornets' turn to attack.
Bodog wanted to help Flynn open up space with pick-and-rolls on the outside.
But O'Neill didn't even bother to move.
On the premise of ensuring that there are Hornets players in his defense area and will not be blown for defending for three seconds, looking at Bodog who chose to play outside after blocking and dismantling, O'Neal even made a gesture of invitation to him very generously.
Bodog's career long-range two-point shooting accounted for only 3.1% of his total shots, and his shooting will exceed 30%.
That's the kind of hit rate......
How could O'Neill defend himself unless he had a problem with his brain?
High position, after noticing that he was ignored by O'Neal, the red-faced Bodog decisively chose to hold the ball and attack the inside, and then ......
O'Neill simply slapped him to the floor with the ball.
On the sidelines, seeing this scene, Wang Shuo decisively applied for a technical foul and helped O'Neal shake his finger at Bodog.
At the scene, Lakers fans also followed suit, and followed Wang Shuo to shake their fingers.
The angry Bodog wanted to scream a few times at this moment.
However, before he could adjust his mood, after Flynn made a technical foul and hit a free throw, he came back and sat in the low post, and O'Neal, who received the ball from Kobe, turned around and elbowed him hard in the chest.
This is the senior shark.
Even if he has entered the later years of his career.
Aside from the perverted combination of Yao Ming and Duncan, as long as you can get the ball to O'Neal, he can still turn your interior upside down in the limited playing time.
In the penalty area, after elbowing the attacking space, O'Neal hit a one-handed smash!
On the sidelines, Hornets head coach Monty Williams saw this and hurriedly reminded the Hornets players on the court to remember to switch to joint defense in the next round.
The defense did work for O'Neal.
But O'Neal under Wang Shuo is not afraid of joint defense.
On the court, after the Hornets angrily sent a board by Flynn, O'Neal decisively rose to the high post to cooperate with Curry's playman.
Bodog, who knew that O'Neill also had no range, originally wanted to make a request to O'Neal.
But before Bodog could make a move, Curry finished firing under O'Neal's cover.
Hmmm——!
O'Neal's model and Curry's range determine that when O'Neal makes a wall for Curry, even if O'Neal doesn't have range, your interior must save to defend Curry.
And unlike many interior lines who are willing to block their own defenders, they also bring opposing defenders to cover their own defenders.
When O'Neal was willing to block and pick-and-roll, his pick-and-roll quality was consistently high.
And this is also the main reason why Wang Shuo is willing to take him to the car.
On this night, Wang Shuo didn't let O'Neal play too long in the first quarter.
After letting O'Neal play five minutes in the first quarter, Wang Shuo traded him back to the bench with Jordan Jr.
On the court, when he was replaced by Jordan Jr., only God knows how much O'Neal wanted to cry at the moment.
Because in just five minutes, he managed to brush up on 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.
O'Neill knew that at the moment he couldn't do it for thirty or forty minutes at a time like he was young.
But after five minutes of experience under Wang Shuo, O'Neill found out......
The so-called "season 20+ triple-double" and "season 30+ triple-double" ......
It's really not worth mentioning!
On the Lakers bench, looking at Xiao Jia, who was arranged by Wang Shuo to rest tonight, O'Neal was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly said to him seriously: "Cherish the opportunity to play under Wang, Mark!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jia knew that O'Neal must have discovered the trick of always relying on assists to score a double-double this season.
In fact......
The "Iberian Magician" is as magical as its excel displays.
Most of the time, Xiao Jia only needs to do a simple hand-to-hand cooperation with his outside teammates to get an assist.
This way of swiping assists is not only efficient, but also no-brainer.
Of course......
This way of brushing assists is also very good at eating teammates.
For example, O'Neal, who was re-sent to the court by Wang Shuo in the second half of the second quarter...... recalled fiercely, Kobe's elegant and handsome iron posture.
If O'Neal were ten years younger, he would have liked Kobe Bryant.
Because even if Kobe Bryant can't shoot, he can rush to the basket at the first time to grab the rebound in the frontcourt.
But......
O'Neill at this moment, how can he still have the impact of his youth?
At this moment, O'Neal, who felt that Kobe Bryant must be holding a grudge against himself, could only choose to retreat silently.
Then, by the way, I also made a note in my heart for Kobe:
On December 13, 2009, Kobe Bryant targeted me again in the game, and sure enough, he was still as stingy as before!
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, the happy rivals, will not be pressed for the time being.
Staples Center, because the Hornets were too weak in this game, the Lakers only used half time to seal the win of the game.
The final score of the two teams was 85-137, and the Lakers won by 52 points, successfully setting the Hornets record for the largest loss in team history.
In the whole game, O'Neal, who played a total of 16 minutes, scored 11 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists.
Bryant shot 11-of-20 from the field, and combined with free throws and three-pointers, for a total of 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.
After the game, looking at Kobe's technical statistics, O'Neal fell silent.
Because after breaking his fingers and counting carefully, O'Neill found ...... Seven of the nine balls Bryant missed in this game were passed by him.
In order to "retaliate" against Kobe, after the game, when Kobe Bryant was interviewed by the host on the sidelines, O'Neal decisively stepped forward and sneaked up and carried it directly on his shoulder, saying: "Hey, now I'm going to take away my omnipotent little brother!" ”
O'Neal's move was a living treasure, which immediately attracted a burst of laughter from the fans at the scene.
Kobe, who was carried on O'Neal's shoulders at the time, was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
It was under Kobe's brilliant smile that Wang Shuo always felt that there were tears in his and O'Neal's eyes.
……
After this game against the Hornets, the Lakers' winning streak continued into the Christmas game.
During this period, except for O'Neal, who will be arranged by Wang Shuo to play for more than ten minutes to find his state......
"Roaring Tianzun", who returned from injury, also made his Lakers career debut on December 17, when Kobe Bryant and Anthony defended each other as blacksmiths.
In this game with the Nuggets, Anthony, who was envious and jealous of Kobe, showed a defensive attitude far beyond the usual.
TNT TV, Barkley even complained about Anthony's defense: "Is Cameron trying to kill Kobe? ”
Yes, if he could, Anthony would have knocked Kobe Bryant out of the dead of night and donned the Lakers' No. 24 jersey.
Don't ask, just ask......
In his Anthony's eyes, the players who can be coached by Wang Shuo deserve to die!
Because, why is the player coached by Wang Shuo not him?
However, Kobe, who has always had revenge, was not polite to Anthony.
Because the NBA doesn't rule that you can't elbow back when you're elbowed by the opponent.
In the whole game, Anthony shot 5 of 19 in total, and relied on free throws to get 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Kobe Bryant shot 7-of-20 from the field and finished with 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists on free throws.
The Lakers relied on strong bench wins on the road.
On December 24, after spending Christmas Eve with Ao Mei, who played the "Little Elk", in a mansion in Los Angeles, on the 25th, the Christmas game, which attracted the attention of the world as early as the regular season schedule, officially kicked off at the Staples Center.
No matter how young he is, when Wang Shuo looks back and admires the Knicks that he single-handedly assembled, he will still feel extremely shocked.
For the Lakers, this Knicks is undoubtedly the best litmus test.
"What do you think we'll have a chance of winning tonight?" Looking up at the championship flags fluttering in the wind at the Staples Dome, Mike Malone looked at Wang Shuo curiously and asked.
Hearing this, Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Ten percent." ”
On the side, Lao Ma Long and Director Lu, who happened to be passing by, involuntarily stopped after hearing Wang Shuo's "ten percent".
After a pause, Wang Shuo continued, "I believe in my good luck.
As long as our outside line can shoot as envisioned, even the Knicks can't match our output ceiling. ”
Little Marlon said, "King, although I also think that your luck has always been good, but ...... Everyone has bad luck at times. ”
Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "My luck can't be bad, because Lady Luck loves a handsome guy like me." ”
Little Marlon and others: "......"
Staples Center, this night, even the hot-bodied, hot-dancing Lakers cheerleaders couldn't steal even the slightest attention from the players on both teams.
Before the game, during the appearance ceremony, the DJ who accompanied the scene read out the names of the players who appeared in the game list of the two teams tonight......
All the fans in front of the TV and at the scene felt a little heavy at the first time.
This Christmas fight, carefully selected by David Stern for basketball lovers around the world, will surely be mentioned again and again even if it is another ten or twenty years.
After the appearance ceremony, the two teams were announced on the big screen at the scene.
Knicks: Yao Ming, Duncan, Hill, Finley, Rondo.
Lakers: O'Neal, Odom, Gallinari, Kobe, Curry.
Finley, who is preparing to retire after this season, can only be regarded as a pseudo-starter for this Knicks.
For the Lakers, this is definitely good news.
Because of the erosion of Finley Sr. over time and years, this Knicks ...... There are no players who can hide Kobe's "god descending" switch.
In addition, the relatively weak defense of the Lakers' No. 1 position is not a weakness in front of this Knicks.
Because even Rondo's three-point shooting percentage has improved to 37 percent this season......
The three guards on the Knicks' No. 1 position, Rondo, Duhon, and Douglas have no possibility of killing this Lakers team.
It's going to be a league of the best inside players versus the league's best outside players.
The only fly in the ointment is that all the players on the field can't be at the top at the same time.
Like what......
If Duncan were ten years younger, Wang Shuo might not really dare to target the Knicks with a small fight.
Because Duncan ten years ago, it was the ultimate anti-monster who could rush to any corner of his own half in an instant.
CCTV, since the start time of this game is at four o'clock in the morning BJ time, Director Zhang, who simply didn't sleep all night, smiled before the game started: "In addition to the starting battle between the Lakers and the Knicks, the bench gang matchup between the two teams tonight is also a highlight." ”
On the side, looking at the excited Coach Zhang, Yu Jia said: "Before the game, most experts in the United States believed that this battle between the Knicks and the Lakers would be an epoch-making game.
As we all know, in recent years, with the Knicks officially building the New York dynasty in the 07/08 season, many teams in the NBA have been following the Knicks' lead in forming a two-tower lineup.
But this year, Wang Shuo was in Los Angeles, and he opened the eyes of the entire league with his usual set of big and four small. ”
Coach Zhang said: "So why is Wang Shuo the best basketball coach in the world?
From him, you can find that in the basketball game, there is no best strategy, only the most suitable strategy for you. ”
And TNT, speaking of which......
This is the first game in which Barkley did not know how the two sides would play their cards in the opening stages after learning from Wang Shuo for a year.
In the past few years, except for last year's "five to eight" and his own injuries, no one has ever cracked the seamless connection of the Knicks' interior line in a real sense.
Tonight......
Will Wang Shuo give the world an answer?
In the center of the field, after the old shark was very competitive and jumped from a certain Tyrannosaurus rex for the Lakers to open the first attack.
Barkley immediately focused on the broadcast screen.
Barkley believes that Wang Shuo will give the world an answer.
Because in Barkley's eyes, only Wang Shuo can solve the unsolvable problem he brought to the world!
